About Ceriyos Consulting

Designing Impactful Programs through Strategy, Culture, and Storytelling

Ceriyos Consulting is a strategic think tank agency based in Jakarta, Indonesia. We specialize in designing impactful programs in the fields of social development and sports, working with governments, civil society organizations, and private sector partners to create community-centered, sustainable solutions.

Our Story

We started Ceriyos with one belief: powerful narratives can move people and shape systems. As we navigated an era of information overload and hyper-competition, we saw that communities, brands, and organizations were struggling to communicate what truly matters. While many relied on marketing tools and digital tricks, we realized that authentic stories and cultural relevance remained irreplaceable.

But our journey didn’t stop at storytelling. Along the way, we evolved into a research-driven and field-informed agency that blends strategic thinking, local wisdom, and storytelling to solve complex challenges—from empowering women in rural Indonesia, to building a national sports ecosystem, to making AI literacy accessible for the underserved.

Our Mission

We are here to :

Design programs that are contextual, inclusive, and transformative.
Use storytelling not just as a communications tool, but as a method of systems change.
Empower organizations to build stronger connections with communities and funders.
Bring empathy and equity to the heart of policy, movement-building, and innovation.

Our Approach

Strategy. Culture. Storytelling. Impact.

At Ceriyos, our approach is rooted in the belief that real change happens when strategy, culture, and storytelling come together. We begin with strategic design thinking, helping our partners translate abstract intentions into concrete, measurable actions. But strategy alone is not enough. We embed every intervention in cultural relevance, drawing from local wisdom, traditions, and lived experiences to ensure our solutions are both respectful and resonant. Central to everything we do is storytelling—not just as a tool for communication, but as a catalyst for system change. We turn personal and collective experiences into powerful narratives that influence behavior, policy, and perception. And to ensure our work is not only inspiring but effective, we ground our programs in data and evaluation, allowing us to measure progress, adapt in real time, and deliver meaningful, lasting impact.
